Wasn't there a comedienne, like Professor Backward or something, who had comedy routines based upon made up science-sounding terms?

I once gave a presentation to a bunch of pharmaceutical bigwigs at the launch of a new diuretic. I did the Foster Brooks routine introducing a new product to be sold for the folks using the new diuretic ... I revealed the innovative product at the end, peeled it and took a bit.

One of my favorite routines came to me in my sleep, giving a lecture on medical terminology which needs to be updated, to help patients know what's coming with their treatments and surgeries. Colonoscopy should be changed to 'bag-a-side-of-me', for instance; ooectomies should be 'ovaoutames', etc.
